A noun appearing in Early Noldorin Word-lists as {ūru >>} auro, cognate of ᴱN. úr “sun”, and derived from {✶ourǝ >>} ✶ourū̆ (PE13/155). Elsewhere Q. Úr(in) was a name for the Sun from the 1910s up through the 1950s, but Tolkien eventually changed this to Vása (MR/198).

noun. sun and moon

An (archaic?) dual formation for the “sun and moon” appearing in the Early Qenya Grammar and English-Qenya Dictionary of the 1920s (PE14/76; PE15/75), except that it appears to be a combination of ᴱQ. Rána “moon” and the dual variant of ᴱQ. rinku “orb of the moon”, hence is actually “moon and moon”.

úrion

masculine name. Úrion

Another name Fionwe in the Qenya Lexicon from the 1910s and some other early name lists (QL/98; PE13/114; PE14/13). It was also glossed “phaethon”, which is Greek for “radiant, shining” and another name for Helios, god of the Sun, according to the editors of the Qenya Lexicon: Gilson, Hostetter, Wynne and Smith (QL/98). It is an elaboration of Ûr “Sun”, as suggested by Christopher Tolkien (LT1A/Ûr).
